>> trevor: welcome to "the daily show." i'm trevor noah. thank you so much for tuning in. my guest eguests tonight chloe x halle, everybody. first up, first up, breaking news at the trump white house. believe it or not, today, someone got fired. ( laughter ). >> breaking tonight, the president kicks another high-level member of his team to the curb in a tweet. mr. trump announcing just a little while ago that the veterans affairs secretary, david shulkin, is out. >> trevor: i believe it was the great philosopher dj khalid who once said, another one." yup. president trump has fired his secretary of veterans affairs. and he's replaced him with the official white house doctor, the man who gave trump his
11:01 pm
presidential physical. yes. which sort of makes sense. i guess trump was probably like, "anyone who's seen me naked deserves a reward. ( laughter ) ( applause ) anyone who's seen it. so it was either this promotion or paying him $130,000. and i'm never doing that again! ( cheers and applause ) and you know, like, i was thinking about this today. in a white house that has more turnover than the throne of wakanda, there's probably only one person who is never going to get fired, and it's the woman who is out there consistently defending the president, white house press secretary and living side-eye emoji, sarah huckabee sanders. ( laughter ) yeah. she's formidable. she's calculating. and most importantly, she's not this guy: >> guys, good morn-- good afternoon. with respect to-- uh-- over-- wait a second. you're shake your manipulated appreciate it, but-- but-- den--
11:02 pm
den-- denmark. please stop shaking your head again, is the of des-- this is the 2009 memo. and thern this one is the-- i've got the 13 here as well. >> trevor: oh man! i miss spicy! ( laughter ) has anybody actually checked on sean spicer by the way. he seems like the type of dude to get stuck in a well somewhere. ( laughter ) we have to make sure. but as soon as sarah huckabee sandersarah huckabeesanders camy journalist in the press briefing knew immediately who was in charge. >> you guys seem to get very confuse, and it seems to happen regularly. if you want to get into a debate with a four-star marine general, i think that that's highly inappropriate. only if your mind is in the gutter would you have read it that way. and, so, no. i'm going to say once and for all, that i'm moving on to jeff sessions, and i'm not take another question from you at this point.
11:03 pm
>> trevor: wow. any leader would be lucky to have a press secretary who can crush questions like that. like, she could be working back in the day, and people could ask her if pontius pilot killed jesus and she would be like, pontius pilot couldn't have killed him, because last i checked, jesus is alive and well. are you saying our lord and savior is dead?" "no, ma'am." it takes somebody special to handle everything this administration throws at them. and i'm grateful sanders cob fines her power to the press room, because if you applied her tactics in the real world, whons what could happen. ♪ ♪ i have never seen a girl like you ♪ >> this line is 10 items or les. >> i mean, just one item over. >> no. >> fine.

♪ ♪ >> oh, hi. >> do me a favor. shut off that garbage! shut it off! >> see ya. >> she is strong, she is confident, sarah huckabee sanders has done a fantastic job. >> the premise of your question is completely ridiculous and shows the lack of knowledge that you have on this process. we're ready to move forward and focus on the questions of the day that the american people have. if anything has been inflamed, it's the dishonesty that often takes place by the news media. >> she'll talk me out of everything. >> i'm sorry, i'm not finished with this ridiculous
11:05 pm
mischaracterization. it is outrageous for to you accuse me. i can't comment on specifics. i can't comment. can't comment. >> huckabee... >> you can't be in this line. you have too many items. >> yeah! out of the line, lady! >> look, you guys want to talk about items and lines and numbers, i'm trying to move forward on this issue. we can stand here and litigate this, or we can get these fine people back home to their families. ♪ ♪ >> what's up? >> could you please turn that music down? >> you know what? i'm going to direct that request to the department of go (bleep) yourself.

11:07 pm
>> these people don't care about me freezing. they care about putting food on the table. that's why i'm appropriating these-- not for me, but for the american people. >> this is your last warning. >> just give her the jewels, asshole. >> i think we've already pursued this line of questioning, so if there's nothing else, i'm going to call it a day.

11:10 pm
( cheers and applause ). >> trevor: welcome back to "the daily show." you know, you always hear about how thankless it is to be a public servant in america. but down in alabama, there's one sheriff there who has found his job very enriching. >> alabama sheriff accused of keeping money meant to feed inmates for himself. a published report hints that etowah county sheriff todd entrekin took so much of that money, he bought an expensive beach house. >> trevor: okay, that is wild. ( laughter ) apparently, this sheriff took $750,000 that was supposed to feed inmates in a prison, and used it to buy a beach house. yeah. and, i'm sorry, if you're going to be ciphening cash, you have to be subtle about it. you can't be going around buying houses. like, that's one of the top signs that you have a lot of money.
11:11 pm
that and buying your dog breast implants. you're busted. we know. ( laughter ) but maybe the reason the sheriff wasn't trying to hide it is that he didn't care about being caught because it turns out-- and this shocked me when i found this out-- in alabama, it's not against the law. >> because a depression-era state law makes alabama sheriffs personally responsible for feeding inmates, the performance bonus entrekin gave himself is legal. over the last three years, the sheriff's food program has run under budget, letting him pocket the leftovers. >> i haven't done anything wrong. they-- if it's wrong, somebody needs to change the law. anybody that gets out here and works every day and at the end of the day, if you make a profit, it's yours. ( laughter ). >> trevor: okay, that's, like, first of all, first of all, i cannot believe that that's a law. any money you don't use for your government job you get to keep for yourself? i feel like that just gives public officials an incentive to do their jobs badly. like, i don't think it would be a good idea to let firefighters keep any money they save on water,un. people would be like, "help!
11:12 pm
my house is on fire!" and the fireman would be like, "i know, i know, but i'm saving up for coachella, guys. beyonce is performing this year. you have to figure out something else. storng drop, and role." this wouldn't be so bad if the sheriff was taking the money only after feeding the inmates but look at what this guy is passing off as food. >> reporter: etowah county sheriff todd entrekin is proud of his jail foot food. these mail trays are served to inmates every day. >> if you're used to eating grandma's fried chicken, ordering pizza several times a week, you're not going to be happy. this is a jail. this is not a bed and breakfast. domino's does not deliver here. we don't run to mcdonald's and get these prisoners and detainees big macs. >> trevor: wow, i don't even this guy knows how to run a prison, but he knows fast food. "we're not going to get you the crispy baconator with the cheese. and you're not going to get you
11:13 pm
the mcflurry with the orio swirl we're not going to do that." ( cheers and applause ) just look at the food that he serves the prisoners. that? look at that! it's just like white everything. that only thing that white normally in alabama say klan rally. what is that? once you you've learned-- once you've learned the sheriff makes money off of prisoners, it makes you hear all of his other law enforcement decision nas new light. >> this is the major story-- heroin, heroin, fentanyl. we've got to do something. treating folks isn't the way to stop this, folks. we've got to put people back in jail. we've got to put folks in jail and make them accountable, hold them accountable for what they're doing. >> trevor: yeah, it makes sense. of course, he wants more people in prison, because that means more food budget for him to take home. hey, he's probably walking around his town like, "jaywalking, 30 years in
11:14 pm
prison." some kid walks up to him and says, "billy stole my lollipop." "well, billy is going to jail, and you're also going for snitching. this. guy is unbelievable. he's probably the only person who watched "the shawshank redemption" and was inspired by the warden. that's who he seems like. for more legal analysis we turn it our correspondent who looks most like a lawyer, michael kosta, everybody. ( cheers and applause ) i'm sorry, man, profiting off a prisoner's food brj is clearly wrong. >> yeah, it's wrong, but it's not illegal, trevor. that's the beauty of this sheriff-- well, that and his aging baby look. that's classic. but i applaud the sheriff for living in the wrong-but-legal zone. let me explain usin using this n diagram i carry around with me. you see-- ( laughter ) most wrong behavior is illegal. but occasionally, things that are wrong with are also legalarchs you can see in this
11:15 pm
tasty little sweet spot right here. ( laughter ) you like that? >> trevor: yo yo, yo, yo, can you stop doing that? >> see what i just dtrevor? it's wrong, but it's legal. ( laughter ) although-- i should warn our viewers, tais venn diagram in utah. i found that out hard way. >> trevor: mieblg, like, of course, there are things that are wrong but legal. but why would a sheriff do something like this? >> because that's where all the fun is. it's like taking your shirt off at a movie theater or getting a bill cosby tattoo, or farting the "ghostbusters" theme song in an elevator. it's wrong, it's legal, and it's fun. it's like when i told my insurance company i broke both my arms, and they sent me the check, and i'm like, "looks like they're working again." ( laughter ) >> trevor: mike-- michael, i think that last one is actually
11:16 pm
illegal. >> way-- what? >> trevor: yeah, you just confessed to insurance fraud on tv. >> shit! well, i better be on my way, trevor, and i need to go shove some pizza up my ass, so i have something decent to eat when i go to jail. >> trevor: and that's wrong and legal. dead co, everybody. we'll be right back. today, right now, you have more power at your fingertips than entire generations that came before you. think about that. that's what technology really is. it's possibility. it's adaptability. it's capability.
11:17 pm
but in the end, it's only a tool. what's a hammer without a person who swings it? it's not about what technology can do, it's about what you can do with it. you're the voice, and it's the microphone. when you're the artist, it's the paintbrush. we are living in the future we always dreamed of. we have mixed reality that changes how we see the world, and ai empowering us to change the world we see. you have more power at your fingertips than entire generations that came before you. so here's the question, what will you do with it? if yoyou have a beard.our face,

11:21 pm
>> trevor: you are both blowing up in such amazing ways. you are here to talk about your first album, "the kids are allright." fore we get into the music, let's talk about the amazing story of how you were discovered. a lot of people know you from youtube. >> yeah. >> trevor: youtube covers and there was one particular cover you did that changed your lives. >> yes. >> it was. and that was "pretty hurt" by beyonce. we posted this cover and noticed this one start to become a lot more viral than usual. >> trevor: right >> and then two weeks later we got an email from her team, and they were asking us if they could post the video, and we were signed. >> i know. and we were reading into that like, "why do they need to know if you're signed?" >> so we were, like, "of course, you can post it. and just in case, here's our info." and two days later, they reached out to us and told us beyonce wanted to sign us. and we were freaking out. and i remember it was on january 2 of 2013, and we're so into, like, vision boarding, and we
11:22 pm
were like this year is going to be a good year. and it was the second david new year, and we're like oh! >> trevor: i feel like you en-- the year beyonce signs us we're done. thank you, ladies and gentlemen, i bid you adieu. you were the first artist signed on her imprint, which is an amazing achievement. >> thank you. >> trevor: when you met her for the first time, what's going through your head as an artist? it's not just beyonce. it's also musically a big thing. >> yabsolutely. when we first met bounce at first couple of times, of course, the little girls within us were like, "oh, nigh gosh!" >> yeah. >> but we couldn't do that. we were like, "oh, my goodness. you're such an inspiration to you us." and after those few times we realized work she's just a normal, beautiful person, and she really cares for uand just wants to just teach us so many things, and we are just so greatful that we get an opportunity to have a mentor
11:23 pm
like her. >> trevor: and she's not your only fan. you've been getting rave reviews. you opened for beyonce on tour. your song was used in the "wrinkle in time" movie, which was an amazing achievement for you. you performed before michelle obama on her "south by southwest" tour. you had a meteoric rise. let's talk about the album because you don't just sing-- your singing is amazing. people are going to hear it later in the show-- but you also produce. you play the music. who plays piano? who plays guitar. >> i play keys. >> and i play guitar. we created most of this album, most of the music in a living room in our house. i have a keyboard and computer monitor and mic, and get all of our ideas out there. and creating this album felt like we were birthing a baby and i'm just so happy we have it out into the world. and it's been pretty cool to say we executive produced it.
11:24 pm
>> trevor: that's amazing. >> my sister is an amazing producer. >> thank you. >> she won't say it herself but, you know, she produces the album. we wrote all the songs on the album and, you know, we're just really inspired by doing things ourselves. >> trevor: why "the kids are allright"? what is the significance of the title? >> yes, well, this title, especially right now in this time, it means so much to us. you know, speaking out "the kids are allright," was sort of like a mantra, and with all of crazy, crazy things happening in the world. we wonder if things will be okay. and the answer is yes, it will be all right it made us stronger and we're not afraid to raise our voices. and that's what i love about being part of this generation, the kids are all right. >> absolutely. >> trevor: definitely all right. you want to stay and listen to these two amazing people perform because it's honestly, pitchfork called it "listening to the voice of god," and it's not an
